Despite featuring the best WR room in America, it was the surprising deployment of Ohio State's tight ends and running backs that made the difference in week one.
The Hoosier game plan was a solid one, unleashing end Andre Carter and linebackers Aaron Casey and Jacob Mangum-Farrar . The trio was consistently in the backfield breaking up run plays as Guerrieri had them prepared for the Buckeyes' base run schemes.
While he first saw time in the backfield as an I-formation fullback ahead of Miyan Williams, he also helped Henderson finally find a seam while running“I just like being on the field regardless, and I’m a competitor," he told the media this week."So whatever role I can compete and maximize on the field, that’s what I’m gonna do.”
With the Hoosier linebackers reading the offensive line's initial steps, the down-blocking, play-side linemen held the defenders just long enough to allow the pullers to get around and create a seam for Trayanum. Once in the open field, the former linebacker proved nearly impossible to take down one-on-one.
Guerrieri was intent on keeping the OSU offense from executing its core concepts, relying on his intimate familiarity with the system to design a game plan that would force his opponent to effectively play 'left-handed.' In that sense, the plan was successful, as it took away the Buckeyes' preferred schemes and forced them into a number of early mistakes.
